By studying the threshold dependence of the excitation curve and the angula
r distribution in Higgs-strahlung at e(+)e(-) colliders, e(+)e(-) --> ZH, t
he spin of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model and related extensions can
be determined unambiguously in a model-independent way. (C) 2001 Published
